my 2013 book stack
The end of the year is, for many, a time to calculate, assess, and number. In that spirit, I give you just a few of the best books I read in 2013 in no particular order. Imagine, if you will, tiny thumbnails of the book covers beside each book title, …
your daily rock : quiet your mind
2013 is ending tonight at midnight. To honor what it was and to open space for what will be, sit quietly today for 10 minutes (or longer). Quiet your mind. Rest those skittering thoughts and worries. Let them float across your field of vision and disappear like puffy clouds. They’ll …
your daily rock : let loose
We are often constrained, or feel that we are. What might happen if we let loose? If we danced on the beach or said WOW when we saw a bus? I’ve been listening and watching Pharrell Williams’ 24-hour music video: 24 Hours of Happy. Have you seen it? Watch it …
sunday sounds: perspective.
It has been said that perspective is worth 80 IQ points. I urge you to watch this for a new perspective as we enter a new year.

your daily rock : reconnect
As this year winds down, reconnect. Reconnect with people you love and have lost touch with. Reconnect with your inner child, that little self that was full of wonder. Reconnect with the beat of your own heart. Reconnect with all you have ever wished for. Reconnect with your capacity to …
your daily rock : transform
My friend Laurie Foley taught me this, a knowing borne of her journey with ovarian cancer: We have the capacity to transform states of energy. From terror to the energy of presence and love. From fear to hope. From hate to love. In Laurie’s words, “How do you want …
new ways
Having spent 2013 decluttering and downsizing, gift buying and giving has irrevocably changed for me this holiday season. More experiences, fewer things, for one. Less “stuff” in general. Consciously so, each interaction with “things” a different conversation in my head. And it is interesting, having stepped back from consumerism, to …
your daily rock : you make a difference
Here’s the deal. You make a difference in ways you can never know. For all the people who might tell you what a difference you make, there are so very many more who don’t say it, but feel it. It might not seem that way. But it is. Trust this …
